Ice cuber as hvac equipment or appliance

[hhsting]

Would an ice cuber like you see in restaurants that hold ice cubes or make ice cubes count as appliance or not according to NEC 2017 Article 422? If not then would it count as HVAC in compliance with NEC 2017 Article 440? I have plans that show direct wired ice cuber without any disconnecting means in sight but has lockable breaker and that breaker is not within sight.

HVAC-Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning. I see nothing that would allow an ice machine to be considered HVAC equipment.

Yes an appliance right out of Article 100.

Appliance.
